List of companion plants

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Main article: Companion planting

This is a list of companion plants. Many more are in the list of beneficial weeds. Companion plants assist in the growth of others by attracting
beneficial insects, repelling pests, or providing nutrients, shade, or support. They can be part of a biological pest control program.
